On the 21st day of the month of September, in an early year of a decade not to long before our own, the human race suddenly encountered a deadly threat to its very existence…”

Seymour Krelborn, an assistant at Mushnik's Flower Shop in downtrodden Skid Row, becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers a strange and exotic new breed of plant life hitherto unknown on this planet . He names it Audrey Two after a glamorous colleague he’s secretly in love with!

Audrey Two quickly starts to wilt, putting Seymour’s job and dreams of a future with Audrey at risk. Accidentally pricking his finger, Seymour discovers Audrey Two needs a little more than plant food to thrive! The plant grows into a bad-tempered, foul-mouthed carnivore whose voracious appetite becomes increasingly difficult to satisfy. How far will Seymour go for the woman of his dreams?
